The June Challenge over at a group was Altered Playing Card. Basically an ATC! All of the images I used are from AP. Espresso Yourself for the coffee images & Black Collage for the typewriter! The saying is an um rubber stamp, so I don't remember who it's from. The coffee stains are from a Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous set which added a great touch. I LIGHTLY sanded down the vintage childrens card and added a touch of Distress Stain to it before adding the images.

I know, I've been very quiet. Truth be told my mojo didn't come back from vacation with me. I'm struggling to create. But I did need to make a card for a bridal shower. Of course I waited until hours before to make it.

I tossed around several ideas before settling on using the dress form die.

I actually did visualize how I was going to wrap and make the dress.

Vintage pattern paper, lace, ribbon & silk, buttons and a bobbin.

The very cool stick pin is something new and by Dreamweaver.

I may have to try and whip up another similar card as I love how it turned out. So much so, I didn't want to give it away!
